A spokesman for the charity said: “WWF-UK’s new Woking HQ opens to the public in mid January. The WWF Experience allows visitors to explore interactive habitat zones to discover the four areas of WWF’s core work, forests, rivers, oceans and wildlife.

“The interactive exhibition brings to life the sights and sounds of the wild through innovative film technology and touch screens to explain more about each unique environment.

“The building also hosts a new Learning Zone, which includes a wildlife pond, which will offer a curriculum focused programme of workshops designed specifically for primary schools.”

The new building in Brewery Road, built to the highest green standards, became WWF-UK’s new £20 million headquarters after the charity’s move from Godalming. Designed by Hopkins Architects and built by Willmott Dixon, the building has an 80-metre arched diamond grid roof with solar panels and huge aluminium air intakes.
